Election 2019: Our people must fight for Buhari's victory - Minister tells Enugu residents

Foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, says the southeast has a better deal in the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Feb. 16 presidential election.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Buhari will be in Enugu on Thursday, January 24 in continuation of his campaign tour.

A statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, January 23, in Enugu by the special assistant on media to the minister, Mrs Sarah Sanda, said the president enjoys massive support in the area.

Onyeama, therefore, appealed to the people of the area to come out en masse to give the president a rousing welcome, in appreciation of his laudable achievements in the zone.

He said that the re-election of the president should not be limited to the APC as a party but should be across board within the zone.

“You have all been seeing what the other parts of the country have been doing. It is not a question of whether the president will win but a matter of by how much he will win.

“We want to be on the side of history and victory, because in years to come our children will look back and say ‘this was the moment the southeast got it right.

“Therefore, our people should come together and fight for the victory of President Buhari,” he said.

Onyeama said that the success of the president in the election would have a long term effect on the development of the area.

“It is not just about today and not just about tomorrow. For that reason, it is very important that we all work together,” he said.

He said that the growth of the Nigerian economy under the current administration had been a work in progress, adding that efforts needed to be made to sustain it.

“So it is absolutely important that the Economic Recovery and Growth Plans set up by the president are allowed to materialise and crystallise.

“The president has laid a very solid and sustainable foundation for our people and we must not allow that foundation to crumble now.

“So it is absolutely important that we do everything humanly possible to ensure his re-election and I am sure it will happen,” Onyeama said.

Saleh Alhassan who is the national secretary of the group was reacting to Atiku’s alleged claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is not a real Fulani.

At a rally in Jigawa, Atiku reportedly said a real Fulani man would not drag his followers into extreme poverty like what is happening under the All Progressives Congress administration.

He also noted that the fact that Atiku speaks Fulfulde does not make him Fulani.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
